THE FEAST OF THE PAssovER.-The
"Pehsach" or great festival of the Passover
began with the Hebrews Friday evening at
shutdown and will last eight days, the first
and the last days being observed as solemn
holidays. To the Hebrew housewife the
approach of the Passover means what
spring housekeeping does to housewives
all over this country, and means much
more, for the work is greater. There must
not be one crumb of bread left in the house.
and no food which is to be eaten during the
week is to touch any utensil in any manner
whatever which has been used during the
year. The only food which is to be eaten
during the Passover is that made of raw
materials, or the raw materials themselves,
which have never touched the utensils used
during the year. Of course the kinds Of
food made out of these raw materials are
limited. The week is to be one of partial
fasting, and, therefore, among other things,
milk and butter are forbidden. The pecu.
liar article of food for the Passover is the
matzos, or unleavened bread. This pre-
vention of the contamination of the Pass
over food by the yearly article is what
makes the work for the Hebrew housewife
All the Dishes knives, forks, or any othel
articles used in cooking or eating during
the year are put away and another outfit
which has never been in service since the
last Passover, is brought in use All prep
arations must be completed on the eve Of
the Passover, and the holiday commences
with the evening services called ''Sader.'
The entire family is seated around the ta

MEMORIAL WINDow.-Dr. A. q. Koiner
as loving and reverent testimonial to the
graces and virtues of his deceased wife, has
placed a memorial window in the Lutheran
Church, which attracts much attention by
its chaste and beautiful design. Above
and below broken lily in the center are
jewels of different colers, which, like it aud
the crown above all, are embossed in the
general framework of tinted glass. Ga
either side are Gala lilies of lovely white,
and beneath them all are the words: ''Iu

and in the soft light of setting sun its
mellow radiance seems reflected in all the
beauties of the rainbow, amid the sparkling
glow of rubies, pearls and diamonds

The report of the Insurance Commissioner
of Massachusetts, for 1884 says:
The eloquence of the solicitor, inspired by
the hope Of liberal commission, may deceive
the uninstructed. but cannot impeach the fact.
A provident person will do wiser to buy his
insurance of an insurance company and make
his deposits with some regular savings institu-
ton, whose sole business is the care of trust
funds.
That an Insurance Company can be relied
on to manage funds to better advantage than
ordinary institutions of investment is not
credible.

Dear Strive have carefully considered the
theory and proposed application of your "Plan
for Life Insurance Without Large Reserves"
and we believe that for insurance companies
it will be fully as secure as the present sys-

public, more satisfactory. If it receives the
appreciation it deserves, it will inaugurate a
new era in life insurance. Yours truly,

A DELIGHTED THRONG
Brought Out by the First Genuine Day of
Spring.

The carpet house of Albert Gall was thronged
with customers yesterday. brought out by the
beautiful day and the fact that Mr.. Gall is
showing the most elegant line of carpets ever
in this city. Many of these are private
patterns which cannot be bought elsewhere.
His statesmen are accommodating, and pleased to
show goods whether the lockers desire
to buy or not Mr.. GALL il mattings,
and window shades, offers stock and low
prices. The rush for wallpapers continues.
People who see the patterns sold by Mr.. Gall APP
precate the fact that he can give in cheap papers
patterns heretofore only made in high-priced
goods.
His line of rugs is simply immense, with al
most infinite variety in patters. No such stock
of rugs was ever before in this State. 1t
will pay any one to look at these goods even if
they nave no design to purchase Immediately.
